Get up, Kate, the Blue Note's calling you
I said, now, get up, Kate, the Blue Note's calling you
Well, it's a lonesome world and you can't find peace
You're a soulful girl; you need a good release
I said, get up, Kate, the Blue Note's calling you

And I get so tired of hearing people give you free advice
I get so tired of hearing people give you free advice
Well, you go and sing to the people 'bout a long lost man
The people see the pain and the people clap their hands
And I say, get up, Kate, and do it to 'em once or twice

Well, it's a funny feeling when you think you might be wrong
I said, now, it's a funny feeling when you think you might be wrong
But I know you do the dog and you squeeze and you please
So let your soul go and do it down on your knees
And I say, get up, Kate, and do it to 'em all night long

Get up, Kate, the Blue Note's calling you
I said, get up, Kate, the Blue Note's calling you
Well, it's a lonesome world and you can't find peace
You're a soulful girl; you need a good release
I said, get up, Kate, the Blue Note's calling you
